Science News describes the result as a new model for studying brain disease and neural circuits.

Science

The Quantum Insider reports that researchers observed individual phonons—quantum units of sound—making discrete energy jumps in a mechanical resonator.

ABC7 reports that the researchers describe their model as one of the most advanced yet for studying human brain development and disease. NPR highlights ethical questions about how these mice should be treated.

Science

NPR reports that mice with human brain cells offer a way to study conditions such as cerebral palsy, while ethicists question whether this changes how the animals should be treated.

Science

A post describes Pașca’s Stanford lab transplanting human cortical organoids into mice whose own cortex never developed. It says the mice performed similarly to normal peers by six months.

Science

A post describes implanting tiny, lab-grown clusters of human brain cells, called cortical organoids, into engineered mice whose cerebral cortex had been largely removed or depleted during development.

Science

BBC News reports that researchers genetically altered mice so they could receive and function with human brain cells.

Science

A post attributes the finding to Stanford researchers, saying the DRT3 system uses amino acids in an enzyme to determine which DNA letters to add—without a DNA template or RNA guide.
